Rosatom has shipped equipment for the safety system of power unit No. 4 of the Xudapu NPP in China, the state corporation's press service reported.
The core flooding system (CFS) tank is a thick-walled cylindrical pressure vessel made of two-layer clad steel. The weight of one tank is 80 tons, the diameter is more than 3 meters, and the volume is 60 cubic meters (equivalent to five tanker trucks).
The equipment is designed to automatically supply liquid to the reactor (which may be required if the pressure in the primary circuit drops). The solemn shipment ceremony was one of the central events of the celebration of the plant's 65th anniversary.
The safety system set for one NPP power unit includes four tanks, and the last of them will be shipped by the end of June 2025.
The Xudapu NPP is being built in China according to Rosatom's design. In accordance with the contracts, the Russian side is designing the "nuclear island" of the NPP and supplying key equipment for both power units.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Rosatom has started construction of a floating pumping station.
